Often it is the bowling action which bares a strong influence on your ratings of a fast bowler. Who doesn't enjoy a attractive ( to the eye of the beholder) bowling action? Turning it around, who doesn't hate a clumsy( again to the eye of the beholder) bowling action?

Who are some of the Bd fast bowlers over the years who you thought had a nice bowling action?

My picks:
Manjural Islam. Beautiful run up in my opinion, and one of the few genuine swingers of the ball we've had. Was unlucky to not have benefited from the better coaches we had in recent years, as he was part of an era were excessive wides and no balls were common by Bd bowlers. Had he improved his line with the help of our newer coaches, his smooth run up would have reflected on his productivity.

Tapash Baisiya. I always loved how Tapash bowled. It seemed that his deliveries always packed a punch no matter what. The way he would use his left hand as a gauge, bending it at the elbows, before swiftly bringing down the right hand releasing the ball. Awesome bowling action in my opinion.

Peace out and keep it 100,

Roey
